Example Eversource bill

Your Eversource electricity bill is calculated by adding two charges together:

  • Delivery charges – The cost to deliver electricity to you, maintain the poles and wires, and address power outages.
  • Supply charges – The cost of the electricity you use.

Acton Power Choice will impact only the supply charge portion of your Eversource electricity bill. Eversource’s delivery charges are not impacted by your participation in Acton Power Choice.

As a participant in Acton Power Choice, you will see two changes on your Eversource electricity bill:

  1. Acton’s electricity supplier will be listed on your bill as your electricity supplier.
  2. Eversource will use an Acton price to calculate the supply charge portion of your electricity bill instead of their own Basic Service price.

Here’s what to look for on your Eversource bill:

The price that is used to calculate your supply charges (your electricity supply price) is on the second page of your bill.

Look below the Supplier header and find the row labeled Generation Srvc Chrg.

Look to the right to the math problem in parentheses. This is the calculation for your electricity supply charges.
